Hey man Ive been playing for an hour and do you realize there are no clues as how to build a plank or do anything simple?  Like...how could you miss this?   Not one thing will allow me to build a plank.   There should be a simple key to press to build a plank or to do anything.  Instead all the controls are messed up and complicated.  I really want to play it ok.  So how do I get items I need and build simple items.  Ive been hitting a rock and tree now for 30 mins.  Guess what I got 0 rocks and 2 sticks.  Something is way off on this game.  

I give up man.  This is so upsetting.  I cant even use items in the toolbar which only has 2 slots?  Why cant this just have controls like normal Open world survival crafts.  Why not just click and work?  Why do I have to deal with developers who think its unique to make the drop key G.  Or the period key to stay in place?

Sorry to hear it wasn't fun to play. The hint system is not the best at the moment. I am working on a new update which includes a proper tutorial, better hints + controls on the screen etc. I am trying to get it finished soon, it's just taking some time to complete. I would wait for that if you ever want to try the game again.

To use item you put in the toolbar, you press either 1 or 2 depending on what slot you put it in. Controls are changeable in the options. Planks can be crafted from logs while in your inventory. You hover over an item and you should see the possibility to craft a plank.
